Partnerships between private business and public emergency response agencies are helping make Wisconsin communities more resilient to disasters. Companies like Schneider trucking and Indianhead Food Distributor are teaming with emergency management and response officials in 11 Wisconsin communities to help identify resources that may be needed during a disaster response or recovery, to share information and intelligence before, during and after an emergency and to more quickly call on private businesses and citizen volunteers when emergency assistance is needed.
Joining an existing partnership or starting a new one has benefits for both the public and private sectors. Wisconsin citizens are safer when businesses and public agencies work together, communities can avoid or more quickly recover from a disaster and businesses can avoid disruptions to operations, employees and customers.
To join an existing partnership or to create a new one, use contact information for each partnership (if available) or contact Dave Duecker at the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance.
